Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Swinging Away was an enjoyable if long winded read; any edit should include condensing the multiple jobs history which does serve well to convey the sacrifices Mr. Pearn made to pursue his craft. However, the best part is the first half of the book which, using his flowing narrative style, transports anyone over 50 back for a sustained ride to and thorough the more peaceful, logical and hopeful era of the 70-90's.

Swinging Away A Celebration is Victor Pearn's testament to poetry, friendship, and faith. The story of his life from joining the Marines in 1969 to becoming a professional publisher is told with his innate gift for description that captures the personalities and quirks of his colleagues and the literary luminaries that he happens to meet. For Pearn, becoming a poet was an ongoing series of adventures that took place from Illinois to Colorado and from Mexico to China, where he taught English. The narrative is peppered with poetry samples and musings on the natural world, academia, and spirituality. Sports fans will appreciate Pearn's tales of the 1969 Wyoming Cowboys football team and the 1957 season of the high-school basketball team, the Ashland (Illinois) Panthers. Book buffs will enjoy his take on reading and the great works of literature. Film buffs will relish his adventure as an extra in a Hollywood movie. Service members will be entertained by his stories of life in the Marines. Whatever life offered him, Victor Pearn keeps swinging away to make sure he comes out on top-and manages to put it into a poet's perspective. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
